Beginning of a steeking project!

well here i am again trying to get to blogging regularly 

i watched the film julie and julia recently and it always makes me determined to blog more lol

i have purchased a gorgeous pattern by julie dubreux aka julieknitsin paris called the gaudi cardigan which is knit in the round and then steeked

what is steeking you may ask, it is one of the most scary things a knitter can do to their work, i.e. cut it!

i have some gorgeous yarn from blue moon finer arts that i am going to use with a lone skein from either witch candy yarn or sock obsessions yarn
for the yoke contrast

i have seen many people online cutting their work i.e. steeking but it is still very scary

i am wondering whether i can set up a KAL that is a knit-a-long for this project but i am not sure whether this has to be the designer, watch this space

anyhow i will be winding my yarn this evening and hopefully casting on

any comments or advice will be welcome
